Study summary

Extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is an aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and shows extremely poor survival. Several retrospective studies and singe-arm prospective phase 2 studies have shown that pegaspargase combined Gemox or CHOP regimen achieved a promising efficacy in treatment of ENKTL. However, there is no prospective study to compare the efficacy of these two regimens. This prospective pilot study to compare the efficacy and safety of the P-Gemoxd chemotherapy regimen with those of the P-CHOP regimen for stage IE to IIE ENKTL.

Read the detailed description

Treatment PA-Gemoxd dosages were as follows: days 1 and 5, 30-min intravenous infusion of 800 mg/m2 gemcitabine; day 1, 2-h intravenous infusion of 85 mg/m2 oxaliplatin; day 1, deep intramuscular injection of 2000 U/m2 PEG-ASP at four different sites; d1-5, intravenous infusion of 15mg dexamethasone. The regimen was repeated every 3 weeks for four cycles followed by involved-field radiotherapy after got CR, PR or SD. Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy was done by linear accelerator at 2.0 grays (Gy) per daily fraction with 5-6 weeks. The involved- field radiation (IFRT) dose was 50-56 Gy.
